In the new study, Grilli and colleagues worked back from details of the ocean surface motion recorded by gauges along the Japanese shore on the day of the earthquake.
Interseismic landward motion recorded by continuous GPS above subduction zones is interpreted as the accumulation of elastic stress that is subsequently released either by true seismic events or by slow earthquakes (Dragert et al. 2001).
Borja et al. [6] developed a fully nonlinear finite-element model to investigate the impact of hysteretic and viscous material behavior on the down-hole motion recorded by an array at a large-scale seismic test site in Lotung, Taiwan during an earthquake event.
In the present work we have compared the rib cage motion recorded by surface sensors with the changes in diaphragm activity registered by sonomicrometry, transdiaphragmatic pressure and airflow recorded in dogs during spontaneous and inspiratory load breathing.
The dynein motors were made to carry a smaller polystyrene bead as cargo, and the movement of this smaller bead was tracked using a computer algorithm to interpret the motion recorded by a microscope.
The Kumamoto earthquakes posed an example that a triggered event could affect the feature of strong-motion records by generating peak amplitudes.
This paper proposes a method to adaptively recognize and correct baseline shifts in strong-motion records by utilizing GPS measurements using two phases Kalman filter.
The capacity curves are presented in terms of IM (i.e., Sa (T, 5%)) versus DM (i.e., maximum inter-storey drift ratio) for individual records (44 curves obtained from a suite of 22 ground-motion records by interchanging two horizontal components along both principal axes), as well as the 16th, 50th (median), and 84th percentile dynamic capacity curves.
The source process of the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake was investigated from the near-fault strong-motion records by applying a two-step approach of the inversion with different frequency ranges to discuss generation of strong motions and to explain crustal deformations.
Figure 10 also shows the STF inferred from the waveform inversion of the strong ground motion records, conducted by the Japan Meteorological Agency (http://www.data.jma.go.jp/svd/eqev/data/sourceprocess/event/20141122near.pdf).jp/svd/eqev/data/sourceprocess/event/20141122near.pdf
The financial risk assessment is determined on the basis of results of incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) of reinforced concrete frames analyzed using nonlinear time history analyses on IDARC platform with a suite of 20 ground motion records used by Vamvatsikos and Cornell (2002) for mid-rise buildings.
